iCaur V25 and V27 SUVs head to Australia in 2027
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 14:31 · Archive
iCaur's V25 and V27 SUVs are heading to Australia from early 2027, with the smaller V25 making a stronger impression in early testing.
iCaur plans to launch its V25 and V27 SUVs in Australia from early 2027. The battery-electric V25 mid-size SUV arrives first, followed by the V27 large SUV with extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain, then EREV versions of the V25. Range-extender models use electric motors to drive the wheels and a petrol engine to generate electricity for the battery, and can also be plugged in to charge. Australian prices and final specifications have not yet been announced.
Both SUVs impressed in early testing on a muddy course in China, with the smaller V25 making the stronger impression. Reviewers spent less than 20 minutes driving the pair of boxy SUVs, enough to sample their traction systems and explore their cabins, though proper drives on Australian roads are still to come.
The V25's preliminary specifications include an 80kWh battery and about 368km of claimed WLTP range. Reviewers expressed reservations about this range for longer trips, noting the aerodynamic penalty of the upright body at highway speeds. However, they noted these are preliminary figures, not confirmed Australian specifications. For town driving, the V25 could make sense, though reviewers want more information about highway energy consumption and charging speeds before recommending the electric version.
